Cluster finding with outskirt stellar masses and percolation

Pablo Avalos, Conghao Zhou, Tesla Jeltema +5

The abundance of galaxy clusters is a powerful cosmological probe, but optical cluster cosmology is limited by selection systematics, in particular the projection effects that affe…

OASIS: Observation-Aware Simulation-Based Inference via Distributional Matching

Arya Farahi, Conghao Zhou, Ritwik Vashistha

We introduce OASIS, a simulation-based inference framework for scientific settings where observations are distorted by measurement error, selection effects, and other survey-specif…

Accurate Galaxy Cluster Shear and Mass Calibration for LSST with AnaCal

Conghao Zhou, Xiangchong Li, Hao-Yi Wu +12

The observed abundance of galaxy clusters as a function of mass and redshift provides a powerful route to precision cosmology; a key challenge for cluster cosmology is to establish…

Reaching for the Edge II: Stellar Halos out to Large Radii as a Tracer of Dark Matter Halo Mass

Katya Leidig, Benedikt Diemer, Song Huang +3

The diffuse outskirts of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) encode valuable information about the assembly history and mass of their host dark matter halos. However, the low surface…

Cosmological Constraints from Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Cluster Lensing and Abundances with Simulation-based Forward-Modeling

Andrés N. Salcedo, Eduardo Rozo, Hao-Yi Wu +7

We present a simulation-based forward-modeling framework for cosmological inference from optical galaxy-cluster samples, and apply it to the abundance and weak-lensing signals of D…
